No longer true, but for years my ‘claim to fame’ was that I’d taken off in an aeroplane but never landed in one.
I have the dubious honour of having one of the fictional diseases in Theme Hospital named after me.
I have piloted a helicopter.
I’ve appeared on stage with Bill “Compo off of Last of the Summer Wine” Owen.
I’ve played over 70 escape rooms, and have been a prominent NPC in the Escape This Podcast podcast (which is ace and you should go listen to it).
I once tried to ride all 7 Staines in a day. I failed, only managed five before we ran out of light. A faster tear-down of the tent and a more optimum route between them (or, y’know, bike lights) and we’d probably have done it. Jenn was our driver, legend that she was. Great day, that.
I’ve been D-I-S-M-I-S-S-ed from the room by Treguard (Hugo Myatt).
Fourth Doctor Tom Baker once asked me if I’d like a Jelly Baby.
A friend and I once tried to ditch a random girl in a pub who’d latched onto us (god knows why) by spinning an increasingly elaborate series of lies about ourselves, culminating with us being astronauts for the European Space Agency. It had the opposite effect, at the end of the night she invited us back to her place for “coffee,” we agreed so long as we could send our security team round to sweep the place and install panic buttons. She told us that was absolutely fine. We said we’d be right back, then ran for the hills.
